The Village of Glendale Heights on June 26 presented a public GIS overview and launched an interactive capital improvements map that shows streets, water, wastewater, storm, forestry and other public projects.

Deputy Director Jeff McCumber introduced Robert Davis of MGP Group, the village’s GIS service provider, who walked trustees through the consortium’s mapping tools. Davis described membership in a regional GIS consortium and demonstrated staff-facing myGIS, public-facing community map viewer, survey tools used for events and an asset-management suite for public works operations.

The new capital improvements story map, Davis said, includes project descriptions, contact information and status updates. Village staff told trustees they will post updates as projects progress and will add large county or state projects when resident engineers provide schedules. Trustees asked whether Commonwealth Edison tree‑trimming and upcoming DuPage County resurfacing projects would appear on the map; staff said they would add third‑party schedules once the village receives formal notices.

The map is available via the village website under Government > Public Works > Interactive Project Maps; Davis and staff encouraged residents to check the tool for biweekly updates during active construction seasons.

What’s next: Staff said the village’s road program and one more water‑main project will be primary items on the timeline in the coming weeks. County projects such as Glen Elm Road resurfacing will be added when the county supplies schedules.
